Honda started mass production of motorcycles in Japan in 1949. Its first model was the Honda Dream Type-D 98 cc. featured here. 65 years later, in 2014, Honda Motor Co., Ltd announced production of its 300-millionth motorcycle. The company longest produced model is the Gold Wing celebrating a 40th anniversary in 2015. Today, Honda produces motorcycles, ATV’s and side-by-sides at 32 plants in 22 countries, including 2 plants in North America.

That’s a really neat looking little bike. My early memories of motorcycles were the late 60’s and uncles & older cousins with Triumphs, BSAs, a Harley or two, even a Bridgestone… but my dad had a 305 Dream at the time, and I loved it. Thought they were neat looking, and a little odd sounding.
Anyhoo, congrats Honda.

Holey Moley !!!
It’s really been that long ????
Seems like only yesterday !
But you can’t argue with success
The Gold Wing & derivatives (F6B & Valkyrie)
are the standard in non V-twin large displacement cycles

Makes you wonder, why in the world the Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club that has
been active in the US for many decades only has 3,400 members? When
there are many millions of vintage Hondas (ALONG with all the Yamahas, Suzukis,
Kawasakis, etc) right here in America. Millions and millions of eligible
models.
